Moment #20: Reuniting Members of the Little Rock Nine

In 1957, nine black students became the first to attend Little Rock Central High School in Arkansas after the Supreme Court banned school segregation. Though they broke racial barriers, they faced torment from many of the white students in the school. In 1996, seven of the Little Rock Nine reunited on Oprah's stage to face bullies from their past. Watch what they had to say about the scars they still carry from high school. Plus, Oprah reveals why that reunion was a "full-circle moment" for her as she reflects on their bravery.
